That your code didn't compile was the clear indication that you were not
even presenting the actual offending code snippet, let alone the
compilable minimal example that is recommended in such cases. That's
what people were trying to tell you. They can't you find a solution
if you don't give them the problem. There was (and still is) no way to
extrapolate the problem from what you posted.

Right! It's more like "Tell me where Zigzag-whatever Street is. I have
the exact name in my notebook but I can't be bothered to look it up and
tell you. --- (People used to be a lot friendlier in this neighborhood.
Nobody listens anymore.)" :-P
